On Friday evening at 19:45, Olympique Lyon meets her own on the RC Strasbourg, one of the revelations of this season start in France. Last season, Lyon lost shamefully to Reims (0-1), while the Racing Club is unbeaten until now and is looking to extend its invincible series in a difficult move.
Strasbourg has not recorded a 35-point white draw in Ligue 1 and it’s hard to believe it will get away without a goal from Lyon. Olympique has the best balance of the first league even against Strasbourg, in front of which he has not lost so far on his own ground. And OL is solid at home, where he has 7 consecutive wins, of which 6 are empty. We will be watching the Dutchman Memphis Depay, the man who finishes most of Lyon’s attacks.
Lyon is the kind of team that rivals rivals in the first half and in 13 of the last 15 games of OL we saw at least one goal in the first 45 minutes. On the other hand, Strasbourg had the weakest defensive in the championship last season, with 40 goals scored in 19 stages. Lyon should take advantage of the uncertainty of the guests and score at least two goals in front of their fans, who are expecting a comeback after the failure of the previous stage (second).
Many injuries that can affect the game of the guests.
There are no batch problems at the hosts except Gouiri and Marcal, but they are not players in Lyon. Instead, Strasbourg is without Ajorque, Bangou, Corgnet, Saadi and Thomasson, and their absence could be felt. The odds for the win for Lyon are rather low, so we will focus more on the goal market!
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50
